Hi Phil! I'm back from my trip in the mountains where I've caught a horrible cold. I didn't take enough warm clothes with me and it was rainy, windy and freezing there. That's why I won't be able to join you tonight at the party. I'm really sorry you won't have a partner, but my mom won't let me go. You should phone Betty, maybe she's changed her mind and will go with you. Am really sorry. See you in a few days! Enjoy the party. C U soon!
Jenny
